Rock and roll isn’t dead—it’s alive and kicking on Backstabber
Phil Vincent, the unstoppable force behind 27 solo albums, is back with his latest hard-hitting record, Backstabber.
Teaming up once again with guitarist Vince O’Regan and mastering wizard Jacob Hansen, Vincent delivers 13 tracks of classy, melodic rock that shows he’s not just keeping the genre alive—he’s reinventing it.
From the opening riff to the final note, Backstabber is a masterclass in hard rock craftsmanship.
Vincent’s signature blend of soaring melodies, razor-sharp hooks, and lush harmonies recalls the golden era of bands like Boston, Foreigner, and Dokken, while still feeling fresh and vital.
What sets Backstabber apart is Phil Vincent’s ability to balance nostalgia with innovation. The album is packed with the kind of big choruses and powerhouse riffs that defined ‘80s rock, but Vincent isn’t content to simply rehash the past.
Tracks like Habit and Miss You Everyday introduce subtle twists—think unexpected chord progressions, intricate vocal layering, and modern production flourishes—that keep the listener on their toes.
Phil Vincent’s journey from a one-man band in 1997 to a rock stalwart in 2025 is nothing short of remarkable. Inspired by The Beatles and driven by a DIY ethos, he’s spent nearly three decades honing his craft, blending analog warmth with digital precision to create a sound that’s both expansive and intimate.
His collaborations with legends like David Zychek and Paul Sabu have only deepened his artistry, and Backstabber is a testament to his unwavering commitment to rock and roll.
But what truly sets Phil Vincent apart is his honesty. Every note, every lyric, every harmony feels like it’s been ripped straight from his soul. There’s no pandering to trends here—just pure, unfiltered rock and roll.
With Backstabber, Phil Vincent isn’t just keeping rock and roll fresh—he’s proving it’s still a force to be reckoned with.
Turn it up, and let the music speak for itself.
